Default The Student Garden


Banner by the lovely and amazing sweetpinkpixie.

As you pass by the Greenhouses you come across an area with high stone walls, and through the arch you will find the Student Garden.

Over the summer holidays Professor Bentley has been working hard to reinvigorate the Student Garden. Come and take a stroll down the winding path. As you go around the loop you will notice a variety of new plants, both magical and mundane, but be careful! You never know what to expect.

This Garden is designated for student use, so feel free to come down and practice your gardening skills. Remember to use your protective gear! If you forgot to bring them with you, then you may not partake in herbological activities. There is only one spare that you may borrow from the garden shed which is now empty, so first in, first serve.

There are a number of areas of loose soil where students may wish to plant their own favourite plants. Just be sure you return and tend to them regularly, and be sure you don't let the iris's die otherwise Professor Bentley will not be impressed- they are her favourite after all.

Forrest didn't quite understand what the big deal was about this cleaning spell, really. The first night he was cornered by Minnie to try the bloody spell out--at his FIRST ever night, as if he knew how to hold a wand!--and now there was this girl who wanted to teach it to him. Why didn't they just accept that maybe he was happy cleaning the muggle way? He sighed to himself as he'd merely smiled to the girl. The professor had ushered them out of the class, and to be polite, he'd gone inside the student garden for her to show the fantastic spell everyone was so keen on.

Might as well get the homework done here, too.

Eliza followed the first year she'd offered to help into the student gardens. She thought it was probably a good place to learn the spell and while they were there, she could show him some other spells to use for their Herbology homework. That was, if he didn't know them already of course.

"Okay," she started as they arrived to the lush area. "First thing's first. I just realized I don't think I know your name, sorry," she said, skewing her mouth downwards apologetically.

"I'm Eliza," she told him once he'd told her his name. And then she got to the point. "I hope I didn't upset you or anything by approaching you about the spell," she said kindly, "It's just that I know I really appreciated when someone showed me some things so I didn't feel lost of fall behind so, I thought, maybe you'd like to know too?" She smiled, hoping he was okay with her teaching him, and continued. "So for instance," she said, looking at a small pile of dirt that had escaped a nearby flowerbed, "To clean up this dirt, since we don't really need it here out on the walkway, just point your wand at it and said the incantation 'scourgify'. That outta do the trick." Once he looked ready, she gestured for him to give it a try.

Anya skipped out to the student garden. She was probably the only student that was enjoying helping out. And really, vacuuming, laundry, and gardening weren't all that bad. In fact, gardening wasn't really a chore. She enjoyed gardening. She did it with her mum growing up.

Now. She looked around trying to best figure out how to help out. That's when she noticed all the leaves. She secured her gloves before setting off to grab a rake. And judging by all the dead things around (some that had fallen naturally... others obviously coming from a bit of wand action), a good raking is what the garden needed.

She went over to the shed and grabbed a rake before starting to work raking things into a nice big dead pile.

Kommoto finished turning the compost. Done, he thought. Looking around at everyone else, he ran back to the castle.
"Time for some food." he said, as he sped towards Hogwarts.

Anya continued raking the local fallen leaves and branches (and really whatever came into her path) into a pile. The pile that was slowly getting larger. As she was working by a tree she noticed that a nearby bush was looking a little... thirsty.

With a quick cast of "aguamenti", Anya soon had that bush watered. She smiled happily to herself. "There you go, little bush." she said before getting back to her raking.

She whistled softly to herself as she continued. Soon she'd have enough raked up to make it worthwhile to add to the compost pile.

As much as Theo preferred these kinds of homework as opposed to lengthy essays, it was still so much effort. But he would have a good go, since the first Herbology class seemed to go quite well for him, which was definitely a first. He arrived at the student garden and saw loads of other students already at work in maintaining the place.

Where to begin? Let's go with Theo's best spell first.

"Aguamenti!" He pointed his wand at a little patch of flowers that probably needed a bit of a squirt. Not too much, though. Didn't want to drown them, ehhh???! He continued watering some of the plants nearby until he felt that he needed to move on.

He wasn't going to water this WHOLE garden all by himself, of course. Other people had to help.

Theo stood idly and tried to think of the trimming spell that they had learned last term. Or was it the term before that? He couldn't remember, all he COULD remember was that it was a mouthful. Flippy-cricket? Flipandsnip...it? He tapped his wand against his thigh.

Towards winter, the air at Hogwarts slowly turning into a bit cooler and today she will prep the student garden, it is reminded her to the garden in Dragongrass Manor. While looking around the garden, she tightened the scarf around her neck and she started her task, raking up leaves .. okay .. likely it will take a long time here. Rolled up her sweater sleeves and tighten the gloves she wore, Aphrodite began to rake.

Now that Forrest'd settled down and listened to her, he had a chance to look around and be amazed at the order of the garden. It looked so peaceful and beautiful. He'd already liked the professor for not noticing the seeds going to bin and his admiration for her grew stronger. This place would be one of his favourite, for sure.

Back to her as she asked a question.

"I'm Forrest," he said and smiled at her somewhat timidly. New people always made him timid a little, and this was not a different story. Eliza, okay. He shook his head quickly to show she indeed didn't upset him.

"I appreciate it," he said and wondered at himself for using that cool word correctly. He was growing up, see? HEHE. He eyed the dirt she showed and nodded to show he understood everything she told, and then eyed it some more to get himself to perform the magic.

For that, he had to draw his wand, of course.

She was lucky he was kiiiiinda over his confidence issues, or else, even drawing a wand would have required much coaxing. He drew the wand alright, but he couldn't get himself to try the spell out so easily. It was that same scenario all over: Why do I even need this spell while I can do it muggle way? She was watching and expecting him to do something though, and she had been so kind after all...

"Scourgify." Nothing. Not even a particle was cleaned. It was complete immobility, and his eyes turned towards his new teacher expectantly.

Flipnswipit! That was the spell. He'd used it last term for something, possibly in one of the task force activities, so he definitely knew he could do it. But it was always the difficult worded spells that Theo struggled with. He moved away from the flowers that he had just watered, and turned to a bunch of unmaintained hedges.

Perfect. He stood in a comfortable position, and...

He blanked.

"Flip...n..swip...it." Theo said with a nod. "Flipnswipit!" But nothing happened. The Slytherin STARED at the bush in front of him. Was it an anti-magic bush? Surely they weren't expected to bring out their own sheers and do things the muggle way. But he had definitely said it right. Flipnswipit.

Or was it Flipnsnipwitit?

...........

Oh, yeah, it was.

Raking leaves is overrated

That was the thought going through Nathan's head as he took in the sight of the student garden, which looked like a war had been faught in it. Really, why did leaves feel the need to land on the grass and paths instead of blowing away? It would make life so much easier.

Nathan had been reluctantly raking the leaves into a small pile until he saw a first year herself, also tasked with the task of cleaning up the garden. He decided that she looked cold and needed a bit of help. 'Besides', he thought as he approached her, Two rakes were better than one!'

"Hey, need any help?"

With her dragon hide gloves on her pocket, small lion-like gargoyle in one hand and wand in another, Sophie made her way to the Student Garden.

It was a good idea to do both things at the same time, yes? Training her gargoyle and tidying up the garden for the cold season. Lovely! Maybe that would make time faster or even better, she's probably be done with the job fast as well.

Hopefully.

Putting the gargoyle down, Sophie pointed her wand at it. "Piertotum Locomotor!" And she pulled out her gloves and put them on. It was a habit already, which was good, right? Right. "Okay, gargoyle, we're raking up leaves today!" She told the mini statue. The Hufflepuff had learned already that she needed to give orderd so the gargoyle would actually do the things she wanted, and not ask it politely. "So let's get going." Yes. Orders. Sophie could do it!

When the lion-y thing started moving around, the girl smiled and almost went to retrieve a mulch fork when... she eyed the wand she was still holding. Duuuhh! She could use MAGIC!! Yeeeeesssss!! She liked that!

"Yeah, you can go ahead and... push the leaves around... with your head." Or something. The fifth year watched the little lion-like figure do as she said and smiled again. Hohoho, cool!

Okay. She had seen her mother doing this a billion times. Besides... she had cast non-verbal spells before, hadn't she?? SHE HAD. Heeeehehehehehehehehehehe! That had been awesome. Hopefully she could do it again this time.

Staring HARD at the bunch of leaves around her, Sophie had her wand at the ready, holding out her other hand just as high as her wand-hand. Just... a bit more of concentration... and more... moooooooore. Okay!

Waving her wand towards her free hand and her free hand towards her wand-hand - just a fancy thing, maybe... or maybe not? - Sophie focused on the incantation as hard as she could.

.......A couple of leaves moved here and there.

....

Nuuuuu, her mother's version was so much better!! Meehhh. She needed to practise more... a LOT more.

Kace wanted to do the Herbology homework. He was going to the student garden and it felt so peaceful here. He saw other students doing the task as well. He might as well rake some leaves.

Kace managed to find a Rake and began to rake a big pile of leaves he saw. He remembered doing this on the farm with his grandmother and mom. He needed to make them into little piles to throw away.

He rakes some and managed to make a pile. He was smiling because it now seemed true that is was Fall. He really wanted to lie in the pile and play with the leaves but he had to do his homework. Playtime will come later.

Anya continued raking down the closest paths. Soon enough she looked down at her pile. It had grown. It... was actually quite big.

Like... BIG.

She was almost tempted to jump into the pile. But then she figured the Professor wouldn't appreciate that.

Now... what was she supposed to do again? Oh yeah. Compost pile. She grabbed an armful and headed over to the compost pile. She carefully dumped it into the compost pile before heading back to grab the rest of the leaves and branches.

"Scourgify." Nothing. Not even a particle was cleaned. It was complete immobility, and his eyes turned towards his new teacher expectantly.


She watched the first year, amused, as he took in his surroundings. "Well Forrest, I'm glad I'm not bugging you." She smiled and watching his slowly draw his wand. Is he afraid of it, a little maybe? She raised an eyebrow as he aimed at the dirt and cast the spell. Nothing seemed to be happening, but that was all right.

"Hey that's okay," she said looking down to meet his gaze. "You should've seen me my first year." She nodded at him to raise his wand again. "Your pronunciation was really excellent!" She beamed at him and tried to think of how to help. She wasn't all that great herself, but she wanted to help however she could. "Okay, now this time when you cast it, really think about the dirt disappearing and the area being cleaned."

"After you get that one down, we can water some plants for our Herbology homework!" She hoped he was as happy to help out as she was. Because she was. She was also hungry, so she hoped they could get a lot done and then maybe they could go get ice cream!

The first thing the girl did as she entered the student garden area was to sigh. They had quite a bit of work to do didn’t they? There were quite a few things that had to be done first. Like raking – she noticed trees that needed pruning and of course not to mention the tilling and turning of the soil so that they could easily grow things next season.

So walking over to a little worktable she made a list of things to do. The first thing on her list was to rake the leaves. She knew what the homework had been – to prepare for their class by getting the student gardens ready. So that was exactly what she was going to do.


SPOILER!!: list

Tasks
1) Clean and prep the student gardens for the coming cold season
Rake Leaves
Trim Plants
Prune Plants
Water Things
2) Add organic waste from the student garden maintenance to the compost bin located behind the outdoor stores cupboard.
3) Turn the compost.


Her list in hand she began to glance around for leaves. Really using her vacuum from Astronomy would be easier but she wanted the work. Raking meant she’d possibly have stronger arms so that was exactly what she did. Grabbing a rake from the cupboards in the back of the room she began to rake up all of the leaves. There, she had one small pile going.

Taking a few steps she slowly raked some more leaves closer to that pile. She was having fun even began to whistle while she worked. She scraped, pulled, and raked the leaves from what they thought was their resting places for the season and made a large pile of them. Sure she might have wanted to jump and flail in them like a little kid but she didn’t she just kept pulling the rake around and scraping the leaves into different locations.

She had raked up a good pile of leaves so she moved onto the next part – trimming the plants. That was going to be easy but it required meticulousness so she took a moment to drink from her water bottle and just smiled to herself.

Aphrodite is in the middle of raking the dry leaves and someone come to approached her.

Huh? Someone was calling her..?

OH!

"Oh hi, I'm sorry, I didn't see you coming," Aphrodite said while she'd been tightened the scarf around her neck that will fall soon enough,

"Yeah, maybe I need some help here. I've been here for a while and haven't finished yet," she said, while holding her hand unto her own rake tightly.

"My name is Aphrodite Dragongrass, pleased to meet you," she said, smiling at the boy.

Laura decided that it was time to do her Herbology homework, she didn't know what to do first but in the end she decided that she would start by racking the leaves, she decided to rake up the leaves as much as she could and now she was looking at them and hoped that the wind wouldn't come up and make it even harder for her to rake up the leaves because this was hard work.

Sophie was still holding her hands up in front of her, not really waiting for anything else to happen. She was just... meeehh. It hadn't worked the way she wanted...

That meant she needed to practice more! MORE! And she would do just that.

Though it would be a good idea to say the incantation out loud so she would get the job done, since the whole non-verbal spell casting wasn't something she dominated yet.

Unfortunately.

Anyhow, the Hufflepuff got ready to cast the spell but noticed at the corner of her eye that her gargoyle had stopped moving. So she fully faced it. Why did you stop? I didn't tell you to stop..." Merlin, that sounded rude, didn't it?? "I mean, sorry! It's just... you shouldn't have stopped." Because she didn't give that order, right? But why wasn't it moving at all anymore?? Had her spell been that weak?? Ughhhh! She REALLY needed to improve... "Piertotum Locomotor!" Sophie said firmly, frowning and pointing her wand at the gargoyle.

This was a bit frustrating... her not being able to cast non-verbal spells that well and her Transfiguration thing not working long enough. Meh. Sad times.

"Jump onto that rock." Sophie almost said 'please', but refrained herself. The lion-y figure did as it was told and the girl felt a little better. Just a little, though. "Accio rake." She'd do it the Muggle way, then. Fiiiiine! For some reason her mother really liked doing it the Muggle way too. Which Sophie never understood. Something about being more in touch with nature? Or whatever.

Meeehhhh. So the girl started to rake up the leaves all around as the gargoyle simply sat there. Sophie stopped for a bit and looked at it.

...Teehee.

She held up the mulch fork a a few inches away from the rock it was sitting on. "Jump over the rake!" She exclaimed. Once the gargoyle jumped and landed gracefully on the other side, Sophie smiled widely. "Very good!! Now go back. Jump back on the rock, over the rake." And.... ohwoops. The lion thingy almost took the fork with it this time, but it kind of worked nonetheless. "Lovely!" Kind of. Hehe! "Go back to raking up leaves, will you?" Ohwait! "Rake up leaves!" An order. Always an ordeeer. Remember that, Sophie.

And as the little gargoyle resumed working, so did Sophie, every one in a while asking giving orders for the gargoyle to jump over the rake or back onto the rock. Heh! That was actually fun!

When all of the leaves around them were gathered, Sophie banished the rake back to its place and, with her wand, got rid of the leaves. Yep, she could do THAT. Though... only after getting rid of them was that she considered the fact they could be used for others things.

Oh well, too late. Sorry 'bout thaaat! Grabbing the gargoyle, she made her way out of the Student Garden and back to the castle.

Minerva walked to the student garden, she had remembered seeing something she could use in there before, but she was nervous it might be gone, with all the changes and with how everything looked. Walking in she noticed that it wasn't to bad and most of the plants looked alright. Some work needed to be done, but she knew she knew she was coming back with Ethan later.

Walking around the student garden she almost thought the plant she was looking for was gone. Stopping she looked a little closer, nope not gone just hidden a bit. Smiling she walked over to the Lavandula plant. She knew lavender was in some of the potions, so using her wand she carefully took a bit of the plant and placed it in her bag.

OH!

"Oh hi, I'm sorry, I didn't see you coming," Aphrodite said while she'd been tightened the scarf around her neck that will fall soon enough,

"Yeah, maybe I need some help here. I've been here for a while and haven't finished yet," she said, while holding her hand unto her own rake tightly.

"My name is Aphrodite Dragongrass, pleased to meet you," she said, smiling at the boy.
Nathan smiled at the girl, who looked like a first year by the size of her. "Thats alright" he laughed.

"Im sure I can help. I started raking but i only got a small pile." He noticed her tightening her scarf and how tight she held her rake, and realised that, although he was wearing two pairs of gloves and was relatively warm, other people might not be"If we work together, the faster we can get this done, get back to the castle and hopefully get some points for our houses." He said. He knew that it was close between Slytherin and Hufflepuff, and he would love to be one of the people that helped win it for the snakes.

"Pleased to meet you too Aphrodite! My name is Nathan Campbell" He introduced himself.

Nathan had started raking the leaves from his pile into the girls, but got an idea. "How about I start raking and you begin tending to the plants?" He suggested. It would make things quicker and more productive, as they could get two jobs done at the same time.

Professor Bentley said that in order for them to be prepared for lesson two, there were a set of Herbology-related tasks they were to perform for assignment. With the list tucked inside her pocket, the Ravenclaw headed down to the Student Garden, armed with tools. Oh, yes. She did took the liberty of bringing her own - most of them were products of transfiguration, really - because it had become common knowledge now that the sheds were empty.

Beezus ambled down the winding path and stopped when she saw the congregation of Flutterby bushes. She immediately decided that she'd work on those.

Setting her things down on the ground, she inspected the bushes and found out that it hasn't been tended to yet. Perfect. Just what she needed.

So...what to do first?

Hmm. Water? Rake?

"Trim! I should trim and prune first." And then rake the fallen leaves and pruned edges and all that. Watering can come in after the "cleaning up" of the bushes. Good plan, yea?

All right. Gotta get to work.

The brunette pulled her wand out. What was the Trimming Charm again? She always had a bit of a problem when it came to incantations like that. "Flip..nsnip....witit." Right. That was it.

"Flipnsnipwitit!" Wand movement was a Karate chop! Hayaaaaa! Triiiiiiiiiiim. She watched as the Charm worked it magic, trimming that side of the bulky bushes quickly and beautifully. Trim, trim, trim. She moved to the other side, "Flipnsnipwitit. Flipnsnipwitit!" ...Soon enough, the Ravenclaw was satisfied with what she was seeing. "Mhmm. I'm satisfied with this.

Default Potion ingredients

The young Slytherin had no problems with this lesson, walking outside and searching for ingredients was not so bad! Off course she knew that she had not much time and that she needed to work quickly, but this was not bad at all! And the student garden was exactly the place where she wanted to start, she was sure that she could find a lot ingredients here because she had read in one of her schoolbooks that a lot flowers and normal plants could be used for potions.

Sonea didn’t needed to search long before she had found something, she saw a purple flower she recognized from her mother’s garden and decided to take it with her. She picked a Nightshade from the garden and hide it in her bag, she was not sure if she was allowed to take a flower with her from the garden.

Default Herbology Homework One Post #2 and Transfiguration Post 5
Assistant Marauder | 1/2 of BenSky | Hit Wiz! | Mischief Managed

Nerida picked up a rack and started to rake up the dead leaves and sticks. It was still sad to see the garden looking like this. Rake, Rake, Raking the leaves sure was boring. Wasn't there anyother way she could make this faster, she looked around to see a girl having her gargoyle rake the leaves with her. Not a bad idea.

Nerida ran over to her stuff and picked up her gargoyle, you're going to help me too. After going back to her rake, Nerida said "Piertotum Locomotor," She watched as the gargoyle moved a bit before Nerida commanded "Rake up the leaves!"

A smile appeared on her face as the little gargoyle got to work, that reminded her she should probably get to work too... She re-started to rake.

After what seemed like forever and she was starting to sweat. Nerida stopped and looked over at her gargoyle who had done a mighty good job. "Good job you can stop now." The gargoyle stopped and looked over at her.

Hmm "Do a cartwheel three times in a row," The gargoyle did as she asked, and after that Nerida walked over and said "Thats enough for today! Great job!"

Nerida pointed her wand and cast Finite, before placing her gargoyle back in her bag and going back to add her pile to his.

Aphrodite noticed Nathan who had been looking at her, was he knew that Aphrodite is getting cold? So he suggested they better move quickly and work together thereby .. and is the air getting colder as the day is getting late..?

"It is a great idea, Nathan," she said, smiling at the boy and started to put her rake on the cleaner ground and Aphrodite get her wand that she keep on her jacket pocket and said, "Diffindo" to the plants that begin to wilt or the leaves that turn yellow still in careful , she did not want to Professor Bentley mad at her because Aphrodite destroy her favorite plants.

"Oh.. Nathan, which year were you're right now?" Aphrodite asked as she continues her work and occasionally turning toward the boy.

Elise made her way to the Student Garden after a particularly long shower. She deserved said shower, though, having three tryouts that morning. She'd probably have to go again after she completed the assignment, though. Sweat and all that grimey disgusting stuff that stuck to her skin. Yuck.

Oh, look! There was Bee! The blonde bounced over to her pretty friend and pulled her wand out, waving it as a way of greeting. Now, she could help Bee with trimming, she could. She'd done it enough times last term to probably be able to say the incantation without tripping over it so she aimed for a really awkwardly angled branch and breathed in deeply.

"Flipnsnipwitit,"
she muttered, slashing the branch off quickly along with a few other braches that needed pruning. Snip, snip, trim, trim. This was actually really fun, even if she was mostly only doing it for homework. It was very rewarding homework, though and Professor Bentley didn't have to know that.
